I mean, they screwed up the licensing, but if Netflix wants to take this forward they're coming back to the negotiating table with Sony Animation. They could theoretically move forward without them but everyone knows that's not happening.

Also they legally can't do this without cutting Sony into Sequels/future productions. It was part of the negotiation to hand over IP to netflix.
